Anyway! To the left you'll find my latest blogs, and beneath this you'll find a fairly comprehensive list of most of what I've written over the years (unfortunately some stuff does eventually get bumped off the list.)

I like to write from a fairly critical standpoint about games, usually analysis or talking about issues that interest me, I also do retrospectives from time to time, talk about games I've been playing, write the funny things that come into my head, and very occasionally do some crappy art.

I am mostly a story person, good mechanics are good mechanics but button pressing never does anything for me. I like Horror, I like Cyberpunk, I like Neo-Noir (especially crossed with Cyberpunk), I like good art and good writing, I like games that cut against the grain or choose to challenge social or industry norms in some way.

I don't have a single favourite game but I am a big fan of the MGS games, Snatcher, the Forbidden Siren series, Silent Hill 2, the old-school Resident Evils, Advance Wars and Power Dolls, among many, many others.

Anyway, play some games with us! If you want to play some games, with yourself, or others, feel free to post shit below to get that organised.

Hello there, so I am Panzadolphin56 and I thought I would do something a little different with this blog from my usual writings. I do actually have a number of things written up that I need to find space to put up at some point but I felt as though this was something that needed to go up first.

So today I would like to tell you about a friend of mine, a very unique person, with a very special gift. His name is Roberto Plankton, and he is an artist. But Roberto Plankton is no ordinary artist, for he exist somewhere outside of the norm; a creature born of the darkness who brings terror to the minds of the young and weak of constitution. With his simple tools to hand he etches nightmares onto canvas, giving life to a humour most dark; and I think you should see some of them.

Once he painted me...

Other times he has sought to guide those who enter the forums...

Or even warn them about what to expect...

The only rhyme or reason to Plankton craftings being that somewhere, far off, in the deepest darkness, an elder god, entombed for eons must roll over and chuckle in its sleep before a picture is sanctified as a Plankton Original.

And his craftings are many...

Like a master craftsman he tirelessly labours at each new project, working night and day to terrify and bewilder. Like a less fat and altogether scarier Santa, bringing gifts most foul.

If you like to be afraid then I dare you to step into his domain, bask in the purity of the darkness that resides within him (and appreciate his work some), and find escape from this dire world of ours:

What will Europe play this week? What horrors await us? Who knows. Who cares. Seriously, I'm tired. If you'd like to play some games then please state below. Friday Night Fights are run entirely by the community so feel free to join someone else's game or host one yourself.

Friends, I come to you today as a humble dolphin with a simple message: Philcumsonsevens (Mike Martin) is a stupid head. He has made it clear to me that he intends to raze our lands to the ground and impose harsh taxes on the simple grains we sell in order to make our living here in Europeland unless... we play videogames together.

I know, I know, it's a lot to ask. But in these desperate times we must stand together, we must fight back against our oppressors. Whatever the title, whatever the platform, whatever the time, Europe must play games.

So I say we rise up against this tyrant, let not his lack of adequate genital covering, nor his love handles scare you, and definitely don't let his inability to properly fucking tell people when he wants stuff done by hinder the fight back. We can beat him, we need only keep playing exactly the same games we always play with our friends just announce them publicly in the format below:

Game Name Host: Dtoid username (Steam ID or Gamertag/PSN/NintendoID: Steam contact info) Time: Time in GMT Server: (If any) Password: (If any) Note: Any other applicable info about the game

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

...and/or playing videogames with other people who like to play at times most convenient for Europeans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
